Fantasy Tip: Ryan finished fifth in passing yards last season, but Atlanta's inability to finish off drives resulted in his lowest touchdown total since his rookie season. He is a potential QB2 candidate, and he could still be on the board later in drafts.

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Schaub has impressed Falcons head coach Dan Quinn with his coolness under pressure. "He's also got a real coolness about him," Quinn said. "When the pressure's on, he kind of looks at it and smiles and says alright here's what we're going to do, and that's ensuring feeling know that that's an important job for us. We couldn't be more thrilled that Matt's here with us."

Fantasy Tip: As a backup to Matt Ryan, Schaub has no fantasy worth. Quinn must not have watched any of Schaub's notorious Pick 6 plays through the years. ...

Baltimore Ravens unrestricted free-agent QB Matt Schaub said he isn't interested in retiring. "I still want to play," Schaub said. "I've still got good years left in me. It's just where I might be. We'll see what happens moving forward." Schaub started two games for the Ravens this year and threw a pick-six in both starts.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he isn't naming a starting quarterback for Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs Friday, Dec. 18, even though QB Matt Schaub (chest) is listed as probable. QB Jimmy Clausen is another option to start against the Chiefs. Clausen took at least half of practice repetitions both Wednesday, Dec. 16, and Thursday, Dec. 17, according to offensive coordinator Marc Trestman. Harbaugh said Schaub has a chance to be 100% healthy by Sunday, Dec. 20. It's highly unlikely that QB Ryan Mallett will see playing time Sunday after being signed this week.

Fantasy Tip: Either way you slice it, neither Baltimore quarterback is worth starting on FantasyScore as a deep sleeper against a surging Chiefs defense.

Fantasy Tip: The Chiefs have won seven straight and are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Their defense has been smothering, too, so choosing a banged-up Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) as a deep sleeper is foolish.

Fantasy Tip: Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) was laboring in practice, however, so it's still uncertain if he'll start against a strong Kansas City Chiefs defense. Either way, FantasyScore gamers will want to avoid the quarterback spot in Baltimore in Week 15 and beyond.

Fantasy Tip: Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) missed the last game and his status for the Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs is still uncertain. Jimmy Clausen ($4,600, 9.2% of cap) probably would receive another start if Schaub is not able to play, but neither quarterback should not be a starting option this week.

Fantasy Tip: Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) should be removed from all fantasy lineups. As a member of the Chicago Bears, Clausen ($4,500, 9.0% of cap) went 9-for-17 for 63 yards during a Week 3 relief appearance versus the Seahawks but hasn't played since. He should be avoided in FantasyScore this week.

Fantasy Tip: Clausen ($4,500, 9.0% of cap) is 23-for-40 with 184 passing yards and an interception in two games this season and his last action came as a member of the Chicago Bears during Week 3's game against the Seahawks. Clausen is not a recommended starting option in FantasyScore this week.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will have to check the inactive list to see if Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) or Clausen ($4,500, 9.0% of cap) will start in Week 14. Neither quarterback has done much this season and should not be starting options for fantasy owners.

Fantasy Tip: Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) is a terrible fantasy option even if he plays. Clausen ($4,500, 9.0% of cap) is a bad option if he plays, too. The Seahawks are licking their chops on defense. Pay up for them on FantasyScore.

Fantasy Tip: Wait for Schaub's ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) official status, but it's not looking good for him. Even if he starts, he shouldn't come anywhere close to a starting lineup this weekend. The same can be said for Clausen ($4,500, 9.0% of cap). Nobody from Baltimore is a safe fantasy play this week, and paying up for Seattle's defense on FantasyScore is a winning strategy this week.

Fantasy Tip: Both of these guys will need to be monitored heading into the weekend, but the whole Ravens' offense could have a rough day against the Seattle Seahawks. It's better to avoid Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) and Gillmore ($3,900, 7.8% of cap) even if they do play.

Fantasy Tip: The Legion of Boom isn't what it used to, but the Seattle Seahawks have to be licking their chops against Schaub ($4,700, 9.4% of cap) or Clausen ($4,500, 9.0% of cap). You'll probably want to downgrade all of Baltimore's offensive weapons, too. Paying up for Seattle's defense on FantasyScore is a solid move.

Fantasy Tip: It appears Schaub will be able to play against the Seattle Seahawks, but owners should keep an eye out on his status during the week. Schaub struggled during his first start of the season and should not be a starting option for owners.

Baltimore Ravens QB Matt Schaub (head) completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 308 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 13 game against the Miami Dolphins. He also ran once for no gain. He hit his head during the game and said Sunday, Dec. 6, that he passed the concussion test.

Fantasy Tip: Schaub posted a decent yardage total in his second start for the injured Joe Flacco, but don't expect the success to continue with a difficult matchup in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Tip: Schaub was about as good as expected in his first start taking over for the injured Joe Flacco (knee). Despite the two TD strikes he isn't an attractive FantasyScore option heading into Week 13 in Miami.

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) said he tore the anterior and medial collateral ligaments in his knee in Week 11, although he has yet to have an MRI exam. Flacco is expected to miss the rest of the year, and it'll be the first time he has missed a game since being drafted in 2008. Flacco had started 122 straight games, which was the fifth-longest streak in NFL history. QB Matt Schaub will finish the season as the starter.

Fantasy Tip: You can obviously cut Flacco in any deep redraft leagues at this point. Injuries have decimated Baltimore's skill players this year, leaving nothing intriguing for fantasy players left with Schaub at the helm now and Justin Forsett (broken arm) also out for the year.

Baltimore Ravens QB Matt Schaub believes he can still play at a high level in the NFL. "I feel like I learned from [playing poorly]. I grew as a person and a player from those experiences. I'm just looking for the next opportunity. I have a ton of football left in me."

Fantasy Tip: Schaub would be nothing more than a backup with the Ravens, so obviously his fantasy value would be nil. His best bet at playing time and fantasy appeal in 2015 might be a deal with the Jets.

Fantasy Tip: It would be interesting to see Schaub return to where his career started, although he would strictly be a backup this time around as long as Matt Ryan stays healty. Schaub's best bet at playing time, and therefore having fantasy appeal, would be signing on the dotted line with the Jets.

Fantasy Tip: The Jets could be an interesting landing spot for Schaub, and it might be his best bet at re-gaining a starting job. He certainly wouldn't unseat Joe Flacco or Matt Ryan with those other interested teams. Even if he were to top Geno Smith for the starting job in New York, his fantasy value would be very minimal.

Fantasy Tip: This shouldn't be a huge surprised as Schaub has really struggled, the Raiders just signed Christian Ponder and Derek Carr seems to be the quarterback of the future. Even if Schaub gets signed by somebody else, he's one to stay away from.

Oakland Raiders QB Matt Schaub may not be with the team for long. Schaub will reportedly likely have to restructure his deal of $5.5 million he's slated to make in 2015 or take the chance of being cut by the Raiders. QB Derek Carr has already been touted as Oakland's franchise quarterback.
